The Japanese-owned ship that ran into a coral reef off the coast of Mauritius has split apart, spilling the remaining oil in its hold into the sea.
Mauritius declared an environmental emergency, and many now fear the spill will do irreversible damage to the local wildlife.
Al Jazeera’s Laura Burdon-Manley reports.

Another episode of 2020 lol
France offers help for nothing? Something fishy going on.. cant trust france at all.japan is ok
With the US falling away as world-leader in politics, France has been picking up a more prominent role in the last two years.
This might be part of that.
France is terrorist funding state
they r neighbours because off reunion island
Y’all don’t know what you’re saying. France acted at the request of the Mauritian government, since France is the closest country to Mauritius with its Reunion island
That’s so horrible to see. All the fish and birds who will die a slow and painful death because of another human folly. My heart goes to the people of Mauritus who will b dealing with this for years to come.
@Adolfthejewbaka _ Nope, we don’t.
Adolfthejewbaka _ What makes you say that??
Vikram R Gupta Over 50% of reefs have died out due to human pollution and overfishing. Stop poring your sewage into the sea and I won’t have to offend you again
Adolfthejewbaka _ Should I remind you that you are human as well or unless you consider yourself as some other species?
Should I also remind you when you criticise something specific you should base your argument specifically on Mauritius and not global stats.
Khan Omar That stat was in Mauritius. And yes but some people treat their environments very differently places like Mauritius and India pump raw sewage into its ecosystems
Always god help Team 🙋♀️
It’s areal shame god didn’t help the ship miss the reef
Environmental disaster 😭
*Really Worst Situation Plz do something’s*

The madness continues!
🇦🇺
Hey … thanks for ur updated new…👍I love ur channel…😭😭 natural disaster..2020..
Old veesel
I’d say shes still young. 13 yrs of sailing.
They have to pay for clean up…so much greed
In Japan this incident not reported much TV or newspaper
I think because Mitui group doing a lot of sponsored to all of media in Japan
Media outlet might be fear Mitui group gonna turn back to them
It is strange to transmit the theory of skin feeling as if it were true.
In the same way, there is nothing in the western media and eastern Europe, Georgia I met by chance in RT Arabic
veleli maka 貴方の根拠のない感覚で嘘をばら撒くのをやめなさいと言っているんです。
Don’t trust this clueless person! He has no idea what he is talking about! All the major newspaper syndicates and TV channels have covered this issue and there is simply no way this guy didn’t see this being reported on the media unless he has been living under a rock!
Also, keep in mind the fact that the Mitsui group was disbanded after ww2! Dude, you seriously need to study history and stop spreading lies!
@Random Dude I am from a completely different country, I don’t really care about this, I heard different news, but I heard about it only from the news in Arabic, there was no such news in English, maybe only now something is beginning to appear.
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust.
Oil from the ocean,
Back into the ocean.
What the ocean giveths, the ocean takeths.
Is that fortune cookie wisdom?👆 🤣
1000 tons of oil isn’t that bad.
Why did France help??
isha Tushti whereever your your takis getting sick here jus tell me if u Dont want me?!?? plz come back
Oh no
I could’ve use that oil
What caused this?
According to other news site, they move the ship closer to the shore because sailors want to connect on shore WiFi
@Jonathan Wolf still confused
The ship came too close to the lagoon and got stuck on reefs.
@Akshay Seewoo oh ok tnx;>
Gravity.
It’s sad to see the natural habitat of many wonderful creatures suffering because man’s mishandling the resources taken from nature. Accidents happen but it’s still sad.
Wait is this another new one or an old one?
New
Theres only 1 incident in this place
I hope the succeed in containing the spill.
It’s cool oil is man made and I’m guessing that that trail of oil is digitally made cause I don’t see oil seeping out like that if it’s caped
1000 tons of oil has spilled in the sea these days which have been removed manually and 3000 tons of oil removed by pump..
Jeeezuz Matt ,you are stupid
Many fishermen n people of mauritius are suffering they deserve huge compensation the government is responsible for this
Very sadness mood human
Make mistakes always
It appears that it was Negligence by the captain,or his crew , who were meant to have kept the ship 16 kilometers out to sea which,he failed to do !
Having disco on board?
They were celebrating a birthday
Where is this statement that they failed to do so?
@MonkaS MonkaS ,go 1.45 seconds into the clip and listen again,and it will answer your question.
Wtf this is 😞
Where are all the dickheads now, that are always saying that electric cars are more polluting than ICE cars ?
France what is he doing?
Paul said France is near to us and is very willing to help us instead they are assisting the degradation maudit la France
This seems to be a Chinese conspiracy.
Yeah, everything is China’s fault. Problems solved.
@Dinh Nguyen If it was in the Mediterranean Sea or the Baltic Sea, the Russians would be to blame
not trying to be mean but…
USA: OIL
I’ll throw myself out now
That makes NO sense.
@ala ska its a joke in videos I watch that if any country has oil the US just comes and steals the OIL :/
Plandemic continues but those who understands know the hunter will eventually be hunted.
Didn’t hear Gretha Thurnberg making noises about this, did she ? 🤔
€700 million in donations was raised for the Notre Dame cathedral in 24hrs. Not much is given to this true disaster like this one. World billionaires and leaders,keep that same energy here too ✌
Same with Lebanon.
I didn’t know this country existed before this. Gotta say it’s a pretty good country it’d seem. Looked it up. It’s free not some evil dictatorship & it’s developed. One of the few countries in the world worth much of anything. At least by my standards. Hope this can be fixed.
@Jack Lennox Lebanon has received a ton of money in donations though.
Maybe Mauritius failed to accept CIA offers, and so must suffer the consequences. Japan just the black ops proxy.
Mauritius sells itself to india
Why dont they get an empty carrier and start transfering the oil? This will keep leaking until the tanks are empty.
They already did it wasnt reported in this one.
2 mins of silence to everything that has lost its life and will loose be it plant or animal!
Just drop atom bomb to sea and their home
Tune in to the next episode of 20 20!!
OMG!!!!!! Not just Nauriciois but the entire ocean around the Africa region. This is a real ecological disaster! Africa should assist.
Where’s the empty Tankers pumping the oil from the stricken vessel and the sea?
Are you asking whether they did it or not or your trying to find those tankers on this video?
Omg. 2020.
Whats the cause of agrounding?
solve this no compensation we need this clear asap
Press F for respect.
Made in Japan!!!
It’s not the first time this size of Japanese cargo ships break up into halfs.
Japan made or not any ships thats built will and may break it depends on how serious the hole was.
Man made man destroy‥‥
I wonder how white people will be blamed for this… but i’m sure they’ll find a way
Humans are killing the earth save earth
So kill humans?
😣
Why is the oil tanker there in the first place?
its not an oil tanker its bulk ship if its an oil tanker it would be much horrible
Not nice anymore… Invest in solar and Tesla
Use the plastic bottles and where is Japan?
Japanese ship but Chinese quality.
The crew is not Japanese. Negligence that the risk management of a Japanese company is not perfect.
How many times this happened. Should be a special route.
HOW CAN YOU CLEAN SEAS. 🤔. it’s very hard to clean a city or country.
🇧🇩🇯🇵🇧🇩🇯🇵🇧🇩🇯🇵 💚
Welcome to 2020
Contact me and get your drivers license EU passport residence permit work permit ID card. Thanks for trusting
2020… the hits just keep on coming.
Dropping off a shipment 📦 of drugs on the way gone horribly wrong. 😬🤫
Everyday lots of species go extinct because of us, that island has some of the most rarest animal life, and because of us they are on the urge of death.
Nonsense
so uh, explain to me why the Japanese government have to send personnel/aid as an initial response when it was caused by a private company? And why is the whole nation getting flakked for this event?
“The Japanese shipping company has issued an apology on its website, saying, ‘Oh, did we do that? Sucks to be you! LOiL!!!'”
BP did the same maybe it helps this time
“on its website, saying it is willing to pay compensation for damages.”
Nothing wrong with being skeptical about this question but this sort of cherry picking on your end is not too ethical either.
Mi Movil Can you really compensate someone for destroying their livelihood (fishing and tourism) as well as the environment they live in? I doubt the people living on the Gulf of Mexico feel very compensated for what BP did to them. Sure the company may try, but nothing can truly bring back what was lost
@Christopher Pilgrom I don’t think you fully can – and I am not here to defend the company. I just wanted to tell the poster: “get the statement right and work your way from there.”
毎回毎回毎回毎回毎回こうだよ。
いっつも外国人のミスのツケを払わせられる。
まじで勘弁だろ
local people too good
0:47 wondrous
I swear it a plan act
somebody school Japan they are already killing us with fukashima
No, no, the United States and Britain will always speak only for the Chernobyl accident, and the series will only be shot about it.
🤮
Death to the Captain and ship owner…
well. done JAPAN 🇯🇵🇯🇵 2020
Alternate: “The Japanese shipping company has issued an apology on its website, saying, ‘We are [superlative modifier] [string of thesaurus results for ‘sorry’] that even though British lawn mowers use on-board satellite control with accuracy to the centimeter, Japanese electronics, vehicles, and navigation technologies are so primitive and outdated, it leaves our ship captains clueless, and virtually helpless from preventing such accidents. Our maritime comprehension is so backward, we still think whaling is a ‘thing’. Why do you even let us in the ocean? We just point our ships in some random direction, and wonder if they’ll ever make it anywhere. [There, we’ve fulfilled all obligations for clean up and restoration for something that should never have happened in the 21st century.]'”
The Japanese possessed technology as long as the US allowed them to.
@Veles Rise They can launch satellites, they plan to go to the Moon, and later maybe even Mars. They just can’t access those satellites to help float a boat.
good. Color in. the. sea. BLACK. 👍👍
and the winner. 2020. JAPAN. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
The 2020 cannot be worst they said 🙄
It was sabotage and terrorist activity 😩 no excuse, just horrible people in the world 😢
I hope the sea gets payback for the disrespectful way it’s treated
My heart goes out to the people living on the island 😍😢🤗

who stuck googly eyes on the Puka Shell?
Puta la wea…esto se repite una y mil veces… estamos cagaos wn
Sometimes I wonder, if we went back in time, and Japan didn’t exist, just how bountiful the ocean would be. Name something, other than coral/sand, that they dont kill and eat from the ocean on mass scale with no restrictions?
Stupid ship captain
Japan doing everything they can to kill the earth!
Japanese is so irresponsible! It is so terrible!
Japan needs to take responsibility and clean up their mess!
All nations should come together and help
If the company paid to anyone $10 for a gallon or 1 paint can of spilt oil, it would clean up within a week.
Only apology. 99 billion. Oil is the biggest enemy of wild life
That fish on the far left took a reeeeally good look at the camera. 0:37
Did covid cause it to break in half…
Humans must go.
Aljazeera is a propaganda mouthpiece of US regime
Japan will pay for the pollution
Can they light a fire on the spilled oil?
Thank god🥰🥰😘😘 What a beautiful Scene🥰🥰😘😘
Its man cerrated Eurosion in the Ocean bcs whay ? Japanes Gvt to protecd in this Dissater
